Endo during pregnancy

[vickflick]

Hi there

I am currently 8+4 weeks pregnant after an successful ivf treatment for which I am very grateful for however for the last week I have been haviny constant pains very similar to my endo pains. Dull painful aching in lower abdomen and lower back

Sorry posted by accident before I could finish....I can't take anything stronger than paracetamol and am in bed because the pain is so bad, I had been told that pregnancy would make endo symptoms better but they seem worse

Has anyone else had this and if so how long has it lasted? Feel really bad

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

When I was first pregnant I had terrible cramping pains which ended in me having a emergency scan but it turned out to be embedding pains, which can last up to 12 weeks.

They can be really painful, I found baths helped and trying to rest.

I hope all goes well for you

I was the same too, horrendous pain in first few weeks. It ended up being an ovarian cyst but it went down after a few weeks and have had no pain for the rest of my pregnancy.

Have you tried warm baths, they were the only thing that soothed me.

Congratulations and good luck with it all xx
